Linus Tech Tips sounds like a horrible place to work https://x.com/suuuoppp/status/1691693740254228741?s=46&t=9QuZ9DEY2it-UDnQVEljMA

To stop the speculation and DM's I am receiving. I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health. The number of daily items the Social media role at the time was expected to fill was incredibly high.

@gamingonlinux What does it say? I can’t read due to Twitter shenanigans
@MathiasWolfbrok basically treat staff super terribly, especially women it seems

@MathiasWolfbrok @gamingonlinux For some reason I can read it, even though I don't have an account. The Tweet reads as follows:

"To stop the speculation and DM's I am receiving.
I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health."

"The number of daily items the Social media role at the time was expected to fill was incredibly high."

@nyangogo @gamingonlinux Thanks. Unsurprising but unfortunate and disgusting nonetheless.
@nyangogo @MathiasWolfbrok @gamingonlinux derp. Didn't scroll enough. 🤦‍♀️

@gamingonlinux Holy shit after reading that I don’t think I’m ever watching an LTT video again

@gamingonlinux Madison's situation always felt off. Turns out it's even worse and more heartbreaking than everyone thought.

Also, longtimers might remember Naomi Wu once accused Linus of inappropriate behaviour. I guess we'll have to reevaluate that one too.

@ivan @gamingonlinux
Bloody hell, downright disgusting.
@gamingonlinux this makes me feel sick (LTT I mean)
@gamingonlinux They legitimately have an OF account? I thought that was a joke.

It was done as an April Fools joke iirc. The money from it went to help the Right to Repair movement.

Doesn’t make what Madison’s talked about any better, but I thought it was worth pointing out.

@gamingonlinux techbros treating women like shir.. who couldve seen it coming. ltt is so fkn gross

@gamingonlinux It's always suspect when the guy running a large business says that "he doesn't oppose unionization but he is all for running a business in a way that does not need a union" (there are clips of big L saying that).

Linus is joining Elon in a very unprestigious club.

@citizen_p @gamingonlinux I feel like actually telling employees not to discuss pay is a great reason to unionize

Discussing wages is a workers right, Do better LMG.

@gamingonlinux Yeap it is. Especially for the female employes.

@gamingonlinux I was actually one of the unsuccessful tryhards attempting to work there, but now that I've seen this, it's clear it transitioned to being about the bottom line as opposed to about community as soon as the corporate sponsors wanted more out of an influencer pool of talent.

This just screams we need leadership in better corporate environments, which is extremely hard to come by as basically all of tech is doubling down to a race to the bottom.

@gamingonlinux And unfortunately some influencers have made it their mission to call this out as a meme and 100% selfish junk.

Brandon Lee saw my paper resume in person when I handed it to the front door of LMG all those years ago. Yvonne called me personally because I handed the resume in person to tell me the bad news.

@gamingonlinux Heard plenty of stories about Linus himself being an absolute ass to deal with by companies that none of this is (sadly) surprising. Typical god complex and bro culture.
@richdevine you're telling me a shouty youtuber is actually an ass off camera? This is unheard of.
@gamingonlinux I know, I was equally shocked
@gamingonlinux thanks for posting that. I don’t care if their GPU reviews are accurate, I watch(ed) LTT for the entertainment value, but how they treat people is actually important. I’m done. Unsubscribed, and it looks like I’m far from alone. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/538609940869414932/1141304531024617522/image0.jpg

And they don't even have accuracy going for them.

@gamingonlinux if true or not, smaller "modern" companies with a "flat hierarchy" all suffer from a lack of rules protecting employees.
I wish Nitter was working right now…

@gamingonlinux
Unprofessional behaviour for sure.

"3 tweets, 2 Instagram posts, and 2 TikToks minimum per day"
Sounds normal for a half way successful influencer.
